Turning an un-photogenic building to a photogenic building

This hotel has been on the market for some time. The building is not very photogenic, due to the lighting. The front of the building is south-east facing, with trees in front, so too many shadows. To help sell the hotel a photograph was need to catch the eye of a prospective buyer.

So how do you capture the essence of the hotel, in this case, photograph it at night.
